like wunami said, any food if allowed to dry out will stay the same for a long time. this is true of organic vegetables too. this doesn't make fast food any more inedible than it already was.

Most food is not going to completely dissolve in hydrochloric acid. Not just McDonalds. Most of digestion is done by enzymes (that's why we have them DUH?) which they did not add (and most of which don't work at the pH of the stomach anyway). As for this, once it dries out, it should survive for a long time. Since McD cooks much of the juice out of the meat since it's fast food and since the patties are really thin, they should dry out pretty easily. The way McD makes their fries so crispy is to fry a lot of the water out of the potatoes. Less water, more dry. It's really not that crazy (especially since it is probably covered most of the time as someone has already pointed out the lack of dust). This is like putting out dried food and then taking a picture of it every day. Yeah, you could do that for a long time and it would be boring. Just like this.
